COLLEGE OF LAW

- u AUGUST, 1997 Major Accomplishments

The year past was an important one for the leadership of the College of Law. Janice C. Griftith, a graduate of the University of Chicago and Professor of Law at Quinnipiac College School of Law, assumed the deanship on July 1, 1997, with the pledge to promote technological proficiency, expand international relationships, strengthen and increase community outreach and public service, and foster and support greater faculty research and scholarly activities. Her administration is the College's first post-accreditation deanship, being the first of the College's four deans who does not have to work for initial accreditation from the American Bar Association or the Association of American Law Schools.

In accordance with the Dean's emphasis and the goal identified in the College's strategic plan, faculty this past year have worked to integrate new and emerging technologies into their teaching. The College has the good fortune of being among a select group of law schools around the country chosen to receive extraordinary help from West Publishing, the owner of WestLaw legal database, in developing new instructional and research tools. The West Project has contributed to the creative and innovative environment at the College of Law.

Professor Patrick Wiseman, winner of the University's instructional innovation award, has utilized synchronous class discussions with his students and has assisted other faculty in introducing e-mail discussion groups to their classes. Faculty now have the training and the access to use Internet, on-line databases, and digital data prepared prior to class in their instruction. The equipping of a video computer projection machine in one classroom and the planned insta&tion in other rooms in the coming year are great encouragement to faculty to expand their instructional methods. Professor William Gregory participated in the Board of Regents workshop designed to explore the use of technology as an instructional tool to enhance student learning, and he has shared his enthusiasm for what he learned with other colleagues. A new computer training lab was built this past year for training faculty, staff, and students in various software packages, e-mail and internet use, and on-line data base research. The College's Meta-Index for Legal Research, found on the law school's internet home page and developed by Professor Wiseman, received much praise and recognition.

The Austrian-American Comparative Dispute Resolution Program is the College's summer program in Central Europe and continues to be a valuable educational experience for our students. Based in Linz, Austria with visits to courts and administrative offices in Vienna, Prague, and Budapest, the 1997 summer program had the largest enrollment to date. The program is equally important to law faculty who attend in search of knowledge or who serve as instructors. Professor E. R. Lanier, the founder of this summer program, does an excellent job in organizing special itinerary for faculty in attendance. The College of Law was pleased that Richard Terrill, Professor of Criminal Justice, was a participant this past summer. Professor Terrill found the experience to be very informative, and all persons involved benefited from Professor Terrill's expertise in a related field. This past spring and summer the Linz program under went review by the American Bar Association for its special foreign study accreditation. A site evaluation was conducted by an ABA representative, and a report is forthcoming. Approval by the ABA will allow the College to offer this program to law students at other ABA accredited institutions.

The relationship with the University of Linz offers us other opportunities for educational enrichment. Professor Hans Dolinar, former President of the University of Linz and a participant in Georgia State's summer program there, served as a visiting professor to Georgia State University College of Law during the fall semester of 1996.

Through the coordination of the ABA's Central and East European Law Initiative, the College of Law is preparing for its second student exchange. Two Croatian law students will come to Georgia State to attend classes and to learn about the American legal system through extensive contact with members of the bench and bar. Professor Charles Marvin is providing leadership to this exchange as he did the Bulgarian student exchange two years ago.

The past year saw a number of activities that strengthened and increased community outreach and public service. Professor Charity Scott, an authority on health law, continued her work with doctors at Grady Hospital and with other persons beyond the legal profession on medical ethics issues impacted by new techniques of science as well as new economic and social circumstances. Dean Janice C. Griffith served this past year as Chair of the American Bar Association Section of State and Local Government Law. Professor Marjorie Knowles continued her service on the board of the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF). Professor Victor Flatt has been working closely with the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper to offer advice and expertise and to secure educational opportunities for our students. Contributions were made to law reform in Georgia by Professor Mary Radford's service as reporter for the Probate Code Revision Committee of the Fiduciary Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia. She was the primary drafter of Georgia's new probate code adopted by the Georgia General Assembly. Other important service to our law makers is being performed by Professor Mark Budnitz, who is assisting legislators to deal with the many legal ramifications of electronic banking. Professor Marjorie Girth served on the Georgia Supreme Court's commission on gender equity in the court system as well as the State Bar of Georgia's commission on standards of the profession.

The Consortium on Negotiation and Connict Resolution completed its first year based at the Georgia State University College of Law. With rapidly expanding activities and sigdicant ifision of State and external funds, the Consortium made simcant contributions to the study of this subject and to training of mediators and persons in sensitive and responsible positions in the secondary schools and University System institutions. Likewise, the College's Tax Clinic contributed much to society by representing before the I.R.S. and the Federal Tax Courts those persons who could not afford representation. The work of the Tax Clinic was greatly strengthened by the multi-year grant of $200,000 from the Trammell Foundation and the permanent funding for basic support from the University.

The faculty of the College continued their impressive record of scholarly research and publications, building an ever greater professional reputation for themselves and contributing to an increasing scholarly reputation for the College and the University. Notable scholarly books published by the College of Law faculty include Ronald Blasi, The Bank Tax Deskbook; Mark Budnitz, supplements to The Law of Lender Liability, Nancy Johnson, new edition of winning Research Skills and L-; Paul Milich, Courtroom Handbook on Geor~a Evidence; Patricia Morgan, supplement to Tax Procedure and Tax Frad; Jack Williams, Kennedv. Countrvrnan. and Williams on Bankruptcy Law and Procedure; and Douglas Yarn, supplement to Alternative Dispute Resolution: Practice and Procedu re in Georgia.

The following represents faculty members who published scholarly articles this past year: Ronald Blasi, Journal of Bank Taxation; Wiarn Edmundson, Jowa Law Review; Anne Emanuel, William & Marv Bill of Rinhts Journal; Bernadette Hartfield, Generations: Journal of the American Society of Aging; Mark Kadish, St ate University Law Review; Steven Kaminshine, West's Leal News (on-line publication); Marjorie Knowles, Mercer University Law Review; Michael Landau, Georgia State University Law Review; E.

This past year the Law Library continued to serve the faculty, students, and public well. The Law Librarians published their scholarly endeavors and participated extensively in local, regional, and national professional organizations. Important achievements of the past year include increased finding for the permanent acquisitions budget as well as much appreciated support fiom the University with year-end contingency funds. The Law School and Law Library leadership carried the message of the much needed library expansion to the University's space and planning committee. Finally, the newly equipped training laboratory allowed effective training for all students, st6and faculty on WestLaw and LEXIS.

Much energy is devoted to development and community cultivation by Dean Griflith, the development and alumni staff, and others at the law school. This past year saw a 44% increase in fbnding support fiom fiends and supporters. A notable achievement was a sigruficant upgrade in support fiom the Law School Foundation for merit and need-based scholarships. Funding for FY97 was for 13 student in the total amount of $53,000, compared to the previous year of level of support of $10,500. Furthermore, the Atlanta Law School Foundation pledged increased support for the N98year. Another achievement of the College's development efforts was a solicitation to friends and members of the tax section of the state and local bar in response to the generous multi-year gft received fiom the Trammell Foundation. With the momentum received from the Trammell Foundation, an additional $27,500 in contributions and pledges were received on behalf of the Tax Clinic.

Other important accomplishments for the last year include four important personnel decisions. Dean Mthselected Steven Kaminishine fiom the College's faculty to be her Associate Dean for academic matters. A longtime member of the faculty who is highly respected by his colleagues for his good judgement, fairness, and commitment to the College, Steve Karninishine7sselection £ills a vital component of Dean Griffith's management team for the law school. Other significant personnel actions include the hiring of Vickie Brown as Director of Career Services, Tricia Rackliffe as Associate Registrar for Law, and Dean Morley as Supervising Attorney for the Tax Clinic.

Promess in Assessing Institutional Effectivene~

The College of Law has identified four instruments or measures to assess institutional effectiveness. Success of student teams in moot court and mock trial competitions reflects the rigorous intellectual preparation and practical lawyer skills that students receive in class. The College of Law has a long record of student achievement, and the past year proved no different. The law school's mock trial team won the American Bar Association's Southeast Regional Mock Trial Tournament, the oldest and most prestigious of such competitions, with an undefeated record against teams fkom the University of Miami, University of Florida, Cumberland Law School, and the University of Georgia. Georgia State's team was the only undefeated team among 22 teams representing 11 schools. The College's Asian American Law Students Association fielded a moot court team in the national Thomas Tang Moot Court Competition, won the Southern Region, and advanced to the nationals.

A valuable tool for measuring institutional effectiveness for the College of Law is the success rate of students sitting for the Georgia Bar examinations. Successfbl passage of such examinations are a requirement for entry into the legal profession. From its inception, the College of Law at Georgia State has built an impressive record of success on bar examinations. The passage rates for all takers for the July, 1996 sitting for the Bar was 85.1% with the rate for first time takers being 87.5%. For the February, 1997 testing, Georgia State students and graduates had an overall pass rate of 88.5%. This compares favorably with the passage rate for all takers from ali schools which was 60.8%.

Employment statistics six months after graduation are a standard measure used for assessing legal education and are annually collected by the College's accrediting agency, the American Bar Association, and by Y. S. News and World Report for its edition on rating graduate and professional schools in America. The figures for the class of 1996 show an employment rate of 92.81%. Employment in large (5 1 to 100 lawyers) and very large (over 100) firms is prized and highly competitive. The percentage of Georgia State graduates employed in this category has been steadily increasing and represents 11% of the 1996 class. This means that our chosen graduates were picked fiom regional and national pools of graduates representing some of the most prestigious law schools in the country.

Judicial clerkships are another prestigious category of employment. The increasing number of judicial clerkships that our students receive indicate the increasing reputation of Georgia State as a school of quality legal instruction. Some sii-four Georgia State graduates have served as judicial clerks at all levels of the courts with nine selected during the period of time covered by this report. Four of these clerks are serving with judges in the U.S. District Courts. Another measure of the effectiveness of legal instruction received as a student at Georgia State's College of Law is the success of graduates in achieving partner in prestigious law fums, appointment or election to the bench, and service as legal counsel for major corporations. Georgia State graduates are now partners in Alston & Bird; Arnall, Golden & Gregory; Holland & Knight; Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue; Kilpatrick & Stockton; Powell, Goldstein, Frazier & Murphy; Long, Aldridge & Norman and others. A number of Georgia State College of Law graduates serve as assistant district attorneys and magistrate judges, and Beverly Collins sits on the State Court for Cobb County. Numerous corporate legal offices employ College of Law graduates including AT&T, BellSouth, Cox Enterprises, Equifax, Federal Reserve Bank, Georgia Power, and Georgia-Pacific.
